In game drills and scenarios not just 1 or 2 moves, taking the time to make sure every kid gets the drills right and not just moving on, the flexible times of the training days, and the passion that the coaches put into each and every day, highly recommend

Coach Darrell's knowledge of basketball and dtibble skills are remarkable. His teaching skills allow him to train students of all levels and will push your athlete to the next level. I have noticed a tremendous difference in my son's court vision and overall basketball abilities after joining Hard2Guard. He was recommended to us, and we have recommended him to others as well. We appreciate his services.

Coach D has been working with my son for the past 2 years. He takes time to teach the kids and to talk to parents about areas of improvement. My sons ball handing skills are strong thanks to the Coach's drills. Highly recommended!!

I liked that i learned elite skill set moves that helped me get by defenders and create my own shot. I also learned how to shoot through contested shots and finish layups through hard contact.

Great trainer. Learn all the fundamentals of the game and more as you go along. I’ve been trainer with H2G since the 9th grade and have seen great results.

Coach D is an awesome trainer, very patient with his clients and ensures they perform the drill the "the right way" each and every time. This instills a foundation for the player to develop skill sets to be successful on the court. He also takes the time to come watch his clients play in actual games to see how the training is transferring over to the game itself which let's him know what if anything needs to be tweaked. I would recommend Coach D to anyone looking to take their child's skill set to the next level.

My son has been training with Hard2Guard for two years. His ball handling skills and shooting has improved tremendously! Hard2Guard is not only great at skill development but their overall knowledge of the game is excellent! They are teaching athletes how to "play the game the right way". I highly recommend!
